Going Nuts for You

Chapter 2

The next class was a drag, along with the others until lunch rolled around. I walked with Em to meet up with the group. We usually sat outside under the trees but today we were going to the library. We met with them in front of the library and went in, the smell of dust engulfed my nose, causing me to sneeze a bit. We walked to the back of the library where there was a little space hidden behind the bookcases. "I love this place" Jess giggled, looking through the Teen Drama section of the books. Her eye caught Twilight and she snatched it. Cory rolled his eyes and sat down on the beanbag chair, Tim fell next to him. Alesa was already on the ground, sitting criss-cross. Everyone else sat down as well and started eating their lunch. Well, I didn't, but I never do. They didn't really question it though, which I was fairly happy about.

Nobody really brought up the fact that I was a squirrel-hybrid-thing-y anymore, it was just a normal thing now-a-days. Jess would always play with my ears or run her fingers through the fur on my tail and it didn't bother me. My watch beeped, signaling it was time for us to leave, "Is it Ross-Time?" Adam gasped, I chuckled and nodded. We got up and I walked with Tim to my next class since Em didn't have it with me, but he did. He gushed about Corey all the way to the classroom, and when we stepped inside I rushed over to my seat. I hated getting in trouble with this teacher, she'd lecture me until I was late for the next class and I hated it. Thankfully that wasn't the case and class started right away.

Time Skip

The end of the day came quicker than I expected, either way I was thankful. Em had decided to come over to my house, along with Jordan since I invited him. We walked home laughing and joking about things we've done in the past, like when I fell off a tree stump, or when Jordan cosplayed as 'Jordana' for Halloween. Em never does anything embarrassing, so it was mostly Jordan and I. She just laughed along.

I walked through my front door and let them in behind me, Em shut the door and Jordan and her left to my room while I got snacks. I picked out some peanut butter, grapes, and a bag of chips. The peanut butter was for me, the grapes for Em, and then the chips for Jordan. My room was no longer quiet as Jordan and Em were laughing and joking around. I tossed them their snacks and sat down with mine. I also slipped my jacket off. "Hey guys, I'm going to change" I mumbled, grabbing clothes from my drawers. I picked out some grey loose sweatpants and a white t-shirt. When I changed into them I noticed my sweatpants hung loosely below the waistband of my boxers but I ignored it and sat with Em and Jordan. I sat on by my laptop, waiting for Max to get online, but he didn't for hours.

Jordan decided to stay the night, since it was Friday, and Em had to go home. As soon as she left Jordan spilled his feelings, almost crying. I laughed it off, as did he, and he watched me play with Max on RuneScape

Mithzan: Hey Ross!

YourPalRoss: Sup

Mithzan: Look what I got for you!

He dropped a pair of iron leggings and walked away from them so I could pick them up, I did and happily put them on,

YourPalRoss: Thanks!

Mithzan: We're going hunting for food, c'mon

I laughed and went along with him while Jordan played with his phone. We got some decent kills, lots of wolves and cows. He kept going on about this new game called Undertale, but he seemed happy so I didn't say much about his rambling. Soon he logged off, as did I, and we went to bed. I slept on the floor while Jordan slept on the bed, no questions asked.

In the middle of the night my eyes flickered open and I saw Jordan at my computer, "What are you doing?" I mumbled, "Texting Em" He mumbled back, though I could tell he was on RuneScape. I shrugged it off and fell asleep again. Maybe he wanted to try it out... yeah, most likely.
